I never use a battery charger to test bulbs. Not saying that is what you did, but an unregulated battery charger can put out as much as 18 to 24 volts. I only use a battery to check bulbs, and sometimes I use a 9 volt one to do that. They're easier to carry when going junk yarding. Burned out bulbs are a real tough sell.
